Come, Follow Me..

I was watching my boys playing today and William (2) was standing close to Owen (11mos) and saying "Come on, follow me!... Owen, follow me. Come, follow me.." Owen was engrossed in his toys, so didn't pay him much mind. William walked over to him sat down, gently taking one of the toys out of his hand and said "come on, follow me". This went on for about 5 minutes until I distracted both of them.

This exchange reminded me of the passage in the bible "Come, follow me"... I just pictured Jesus standing close by saying to us over and over, "come, follow me", but we're too preoccupied with the things in front of us to notice. Sometimes he will change our circumstances so that we are able to see him more clearly, but the decision is ultimately ours whether or not we decide to follow Him. Trust me, it's worth the journey to follow him!
